SPECIFICATIONS FOR REINFORCED CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE

1 March 2010 Specification 1030 (I) Page 1 of 34 Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation SPECIFICATIONS FOR REINFORCED CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE DESCRIPTION The Work shall consist of: .1 Supplying of materials and the mixing and placing of REINFORCED CAST-IN-PLACE CONCRETE as shown and described on the Drawings and in this Specification, including placing, vibrating, finishing and curing; .2 Supplying, fabricating, constructing, maintaining and removing temporary works, including falsework and formwork; .3 Heating and cooling CONCRETE , if necessary; .4 Developing CONCRETE mix design(s) that meets the performance requirements, including trial batches.

2 5 The quality control (QC) testing of all materials; and .6 Supplying and installing water seals and joint fillers (when applicable). Performance Alternative CONCRETE supplied under this Specification will be specified in accordance with the Performance alternative in Table 5 of CSA , with the exception that the Contractor shall submit the proposed CONCRETE mix design(s) identifying the exact proportions of all constituent materials by mass or volume. The Contractor shall: .1 Work with the Supplier to establish the CONCRETE mix properties to meet the performance criteria for the plastic and hardened CONCRETE , considering the Contractor s criteria for construction and placement and the Department s performance criteria.

3 2 Submit documentation to the satisfaction of the Engineer demonstrating that the proposed mix design(s) will satisfy the strength, durability, and performance requirements; .3 Prepare and implement a quality management plan to ensure that the Department s performance criteria will be met and submit documentation demonstrating the Department s performance requirements have been met; .4 Provide certification from a Professional Engineer registered or licensed to practise in Manitoba that the CONCRETE plant, equipment, and truck mixers comply with the requirements of CSA and this Specification.

4 5 Certify that all materials to be used in the CONCRETE comply with the requirements of CSA and this Specification; .6 Certify that the CONCRETE mix design(s) satisfy the requirements of CSA and this Specification; .7 Certify that the production and delivery of CONCRETE will meet the requirements of CSA and this Specification; .8 Certify that the CONCRETE complies with the performance criteria specified; and March 2010 Specification 1030 (I) Page 2 of 34 Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation .9 Ensure that the CONCRETE supplier prepares and implements a quality control plan to ensure that the Department s and the Contractor s performance criteria will be met.

5 Department s Performance Criteria The Department s basic performance criteria are provided in this Specification and identified on the Drawings. When required, additional site specific requirements will be described in the Special Provisions. Contractor s Performance Criteria The submission shall include the Contractor s performance criteria for each mix design including: Placeability ( pumping, buggies, truck chute, etc.) Workability Proposed slump and slump retention time Set time REFERENCES AND RELATED SPECIFICATIONS All reference standards and related SPECIFICATIONS shall be current issue or the latest revision at the date of tender advertisement.
